Today at the House Oversight Committee, a powerful testimony was delivered by IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler. They leveled serious allegations suggesting the Department of Justice, under President Joe Biden’s tenure, manipulated its power to shield Hunter Biden, the President’s son, from severe criminal charges. Hunter Biden, scrutinized for alleged tax evasion in 2017 and 2018, was saved from potentially heavy felony charges, as per the whistleblowers. Instead, he was met with minor misdemeanors. This depiction of events brings to light concerns of power misuse and the possible compromising of our justice system’s integrity. Furthermore, the testimonies hint at a strategic intervention by the DOJ in this case, emphasizing its exceptional nature. Questions around the justice system’s impartiality have now been amplified, raising alarm bells about possible protectionism within the Biden administration.
